New York Trib folds ending city’s morning tabloid era
The Trib, a 25 cent morning tabloid in New York, folded after months of declining circulation from 200000-250000 to about 100000. Publisher Leonard Saffir cited harsh winter and weak ad support as the main causes, with over $4 million sunk into the venture. About 120 jobs were lost as the paper, printed in Somerset NJ, ceased operations.

GM Tax Probe Halted by 6th Circuit Ruling
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled 2-1 that the IRS improperly assigned an IRS attorney to direct GM’s grand jury probe in Detroit, halting the investigation. GM, since 1975, argued the appointment created an appearance of conflict and possible access to civil case evidence. The majority said the appearance of conflict justified stopping grand jury proceedings to protect GM.

Judge rules Scott must surrender papers to grand jury
U.S. District Judge James B. Parsons ruled the federal government can compel Attorney General William J. Scott to turn over personal and office records for a grand jury probe into his finances. He refused to quash subpoenas, allowed modifications, and directed U.S. Attorney Sullivan to implement them. The inquiry, sparked by Scott's ex-wife alleging cash in a safe deposit box, centers on about $50,000 Scott claimed as campaign money. Prosecutors reportedly broaden the scope beyond the cash box.
